OK.Drove by a markIII on sunday M1 Barnsley.He had the german style plate front and rear.Now I kinda like em and am fancying a pair
for the bus.What I wanna know is,are they cool or will I look a tw4t.....If cool should the rear be white like the markIII,(white front and rear) or yellow rear plate to please plod?....reply just....tw4t or cool.(http://www.bimmian.com/elements/product.htm/utils/ELP/platebuilder/germanplates.htm?plate=YR-O4-ZBJ)

I think they look cool as, even with the yellow on the rear and white on the front :smiley:

You aren't going to please plod with either colour! Both will get you pulled over m'lad :tongue:

Ah JV,I have a cunning plan.I live in Doncaster and as u proberbly know next weekend is "Ripspeed Donny"..So I reckon flat foot will have his desk full of paperwork for the next year pulling over all the novas n stuff,so gonna fit em after the event.It,ll take em months to push billy corsa bollox thru the books giving me a summer of hassle free deutsche plate nonsense..woooohoooooo :laugh:
-
If you do have german plates fitted then carry a set of road legal original ones in the boot.
Then when you get pulled over and he says they're not road legal you can say you were just at a show and forget to change them back before leaving, get the "legal" ones out of the boot and start to change them there and then.
Most coppers will let you off with a slapped wrist.
-
To be honest to the casual observer and most bobbies they'll just glance and think you're actually driving a german registered car!
-
Thats a grand idea ridgers.I did the same with my jeep wrangler.back plate was totally illegal for 5 yrs,not one pull but kept originals just in case.yeah Horney u could be right.I also heard a rumour that speeding tickets were dumped cos they can,t be bothered with the hassle for foreign tourists??....Right thats it,roofbars are on,seats removed and one smelly veggie mate in tow.I,m off to cornwall for a surf..laters all
-
Have these plates on my car. was pulled 5 mins after i put them on :angry: Still not changed them and have had no bother since. look great IMO

V Nice,just the look I was aiming for.I bought an historic WOB plate from some german guy off ebay.It comes with the vw wolfsburg frame.gonna use the frame for the new rear plate.I notice you have some on Frosticles.Did u need to drill the frames on??
-
Never had any probs with mine, not yet anyway :undecided:
I got the surrounds too, they need to be screwed on, but then your plates clip in and out easy enough if u do get pulled.
search for euro_tags on ebay, cheap if your after german plates
-
never had probs with mine either.....
-
Outstanding.Euro_Tags have some on the Luftwaffe as I type.. :wink:

I take it that means on the way!!!!
Sweet :cool:

No drilling needed with my backing plates. Just some very good quality number plate tape. Surrounds were from Just Matz. Excellent quality as well.
-
Thanks frosticles.Already took Gaz,s advice n screwed em on..The plate was,nt a WOB as advertised,bit misleading tha :angry:t,but the frame is real smart.. :rolleyes:
-
Hi Folks,
I can't find this Euro_Tags person on Ebay. Can anyone give me a link or something? I want some german style plates but I'm not paying £40 for a set from dubmiester!

euro_tags does do plates, he did mine :undecided:
-
He does???... Can you link me the exact page Gaz please..All I get is the Historic plates and the frames.Frames are a right bargain at
£7 each plus postage. I was gonna order 2 from germanplates.com for $40.If he can beat that I,ll make him send em in the frame order I just did.
-
Just email him what you want eurotags@web.de telling him you got the info from ebay, white front, white or yellow rear and your plate. He will email you with a price and you can paypal him. :laugh: easy peasy.
check out http://cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=eurotags and scroll down to prices.
$ 25.99.....custom plates with u name or Â…. up to 9 digits made on same mashine in same factory !
:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
-
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!! :cool:
-
Have ordered nad paid for some off theu guy too, will let you know what they are like and how long it takes etc...
-
Nice one..would appreciate a pic when they arrive..I have paid for 3 more Wolfsburg frames,mates want some..they are half the price of the english sites..When I enquired about his german/english reg plates the prices quoted were a bit confusing.How much have u paid thru Paypal may I ask?
-
I paid 73 euro for 2 german plates, shipping and I think Gary odered 2 frames he does used ones as well as new ones.
What we call teh standard size German plates he calls the German Euro Plate.
To make it clear look through e-bay and ask him a question through a link to the style plate you want, his english is quite good
-
Bought Mine from German plates.com for £28 including shipping. Top notch as well
-
Yo Frosticles,is that £28 each or for both.Cos my reckoning is 73 euros= £50..I,ve used euro-tags twice now and find him top notch.except for the wob plate which turned out to be Munchen,never mind....But 50 notes when german plates are charging $40? :huh:..
-
i thought urotags was $26 for a pair :undecided:
-
Hi Gaz...did u pay $26 a pair or each....cos Im alll confused here....Mail from frank(euro-tags) says--------->
